SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,857, dated February.19, 1884.

-' Application filed August 6,1883. (No model.) I

taken through the line'w 00, Fig. 1

The object of this invention is to promote the convenience of tailors and other using chalk and pins and having to secure their work in place by weights. r

The invention consists in a combined chalkknife, waste chalk receiver, pin cup, and

' paper-weight constructed with a base, a hollow body having top and bottom openings and recessed top, and provided with outwardly-inclined projecting jaws, recessed to receive knives having corrugatedfaces, the said bottom opening being closed by a stopper, as hereinafter fullydescribed.

A represents the base of the implement, which can be made rectangular in form, as shown in Fig. 1, orofany other desired shape.

B is the body of the implement, the lower part of which is contracted into a small stem, and is connected with the base A. The base A and body B are preferably cast in one piece, but may be cast separate and screwed together or otherwise connected. The body B may be made oval or of any other desired form, and upon the middle part of itstop are formed two projections or jaws, O, which incline' from each other, leaving a V- shaped opening between them. The top of the body B, around the jaws O, is recessed to form a cup, D, to receive pins. the jaws O are recessed to form seats to receive the knives E, which are secured in place by screws or other suitable means. 1

The knives E are made in the form of plates with corrugated faces, the said corrugations being made in the form of ratchet-teeth with sharp edges to adapt them to-shave off the sides of the edges of tailors chalk or crayon and give the said edges a V form.

The inner sides of suitable stopper, so that the waste-chalk re ceiver can be readily emptied when desired.

The lower side of. the base A is recessed to form a space, J, for the stopper I, and in the upper side of the said base is formed a recess, K, to serve as a receptacle for pieces of chalk or other desired objects. The implement is. made sufficiently heavy to adapt it to serve as a weight to hold papers or work in place upon adesk, table, or bench,

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new anddesire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A combined chalk-knife, waste-chalk receiver, pin-cup, and paper-weight constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the base A, the hollow body B, having top and bottom openings and recessed top, and provided with outwardly-inclined recessed jaws O, the corrugated knives E, and the stopper I, as setforth.

2. In a combined chalk-knife, waste-chalk receiver, pin-cup, and paper-weight, the body I B, made hollow, having top and bottom open ings and a recessed top, and provided with outwardly-inc1inedrecessed jaws G, substantially as herein shown and described, to adapt the said body to receive chalk-shaving knives, and to serve as a waste-chalk receiver and as a pin-cup, as set forth. 3. In a combined chalk-knife, waste-chalk receiver, pin-cup,.and paper-weight, the combination, with the outwardly inclined and recessed projecting jaws G, of the hollow body B, and of the knives E, having corrugated faces, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the chalk can be readily brought to an accurate V-shaped edge, as set forth.
